So we went from big poppa pump, to the even bigger A Train, now we go with "The largest tag team ever in the WWF" the Natural Disasters and Tugboat and Earthquake respectivley. Both guys were around the 400lb mark each and started as a feud between them. Tugboat changed his name to Typhoon and began to team with Earthquake and they won the tag titles once before Tug went to WCW and become the SHOCKMASTER!!! He slowly faded away after. Earthquake had a little better career. He was Earthquake a little while longer and then portrayed Avalanche in WCW (basically the same gimmick). He became the Shark in the Dungeon of Doom and eventually started to wrestle under his real name, "tried of being a fish or an avalanche". He feuded with Big Bubba and eventually went back to the WWE under the name Golga (after losing a decient amount of weight) with the Oddities and slowly faded away. He passed away in 2006 and will always be missed. I'm gonna give Typhoon a meh, and give Earthquake a YAY. Earthquake was always a very solid "big man" wrestler.

PS I do remember a Test Yay or Nay post now that I think about it (I didnt do the post but there was one) For some reason I dont seem to remember Test getting as many Yays as he did now...

Growing up I really enjoyed tag teams. Part of it is my brother and I grew up on The Rockers, The Natural Disasters, Demolition, The Legion of Doom, etc. Even when Earthquake was a solo worker I loved him as a heel.

Meh for both of 'em. Never really watched them growing up so don't care about them.

John Tenta was awesome as a solo guy and awesome as a team guy, face or heel. Typhoon just seemed like the guy they stuck with Earthquake. Tugboat was fairly mehish, but I don't think I hated him or anything.

My uncle went to highschool with Tenta, so I always had a soft spot for the big guy. I remember watching the local news when I was a kid, and they did a report on him in Japan learning Sumo. Then watching him Saturday mornings when they televised the local promotion. It was a big deal when he showed up in WWF. R.I.P. John Tenta. :'(
